Watch LOOKED well made...but NO CONTACT info was shipped with it for help...the MSN DIRECT SERVICE was VERY poor...they try to TAKE charge and do NOT know the product at all...worse is they can not speak English. I called several times...got the run around. Every time you call MSN...they ask WHO you are...your name..address...phone number and on and on and on NO matter how many times you call in.

During the SHORT time it worked the DISPLAY was the VERY best I have seen. I purchased it at COMPUSA...I was the FIRST person to ever purhcase one!! Hmmm I like gadgets!

I have never had ANY digital watch EVER die on me...even the $5.00 ones...my OLD timex's that have laid in my night stand are STILL working.

NOTE: One needs to take the ABUCUS watch to a jewler to ADJUST the band...the band is VERY hard to put on....this product is for MALES only! :-)

This product will be a loser just like the Timex InterNet watch..one has to charge the battery EVERY night...do not leave home without the CHARGER!

Maybe they will come out with a cig. lighter cord for it when you are driving...do not want to be late for???

The Timex InterNet watch did have a VERY easy to change battery and the BUTTONS were MARKED How would you LIKE your computer keyboard with no MARKINGS on the KEYS! :-))

The watch is NOT user friendly at all..the buttons have NO markings on the CASE!

Finally, a watch that tells more than time! If you gotta thick wrist (...), you gotta love this. It gives you uptodate news, stock quotes, weather updates (way cool, man!), and even your worthless daily schedules. Of course assuming you are still sane from information overload! This is better than your cell, man, cuz you can use it on that transUSA flight. I love this new gizmo! It runs MS software, but who cares. It's a Fossil watch!

This is just another gadget that MSN and others have come up with to make some easy money. If you really think that this is a good idea by these companies just send them money directly for R & D. Most likely the money will go toward stock options and more marketing hype. Don't bother with the S&H and the frustration of the junk you just bought. Hope they can get a better product in the future.

The huge watch is quite useless. You can get the same information easily on the net or over the radio w/o the $60 per year fee. Only works where there is the FM signal. Needs to be charged every other day. btw, you must remove it do recharge with magnetic coupled charger.

Not guaranteed to work where you live. You have a local area, so if you travel you can encure more fees like a cell phone.

The only nice thing is that you do not have to set the time (usually). Other watches do that as well. Gee, I bought an alarm clock for $14 that does the same. And, oh yeah, it gets PRI and NPR as well for the information I need within ten minutes.

One star only because I had to give it some rating.
